The Experiences of Women with Gestational Breast Cancer: Perspectives of Healthcare Professionals.
Article in Western journal of nursing research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGestational breast cancer (GBC) is defined as breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy or in the first 12 months post-partum. The diagnosis and management of GBC in the prenatal and postnatal settings pose significant challenges for women, their families, and healthcare professionals (HCPs).
objectiveThe objectives of this study were to explore women's experiences of GBC from the perspectives of HCPs.
methodsThis qualitative exploratory study involved 11 HCPs in Australia, including 7 nurses, a midwife, an oncologist, a breast surgeon, and a psychology counsellor. Data were gathered through semi-structured individual interviews, which were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically using Braun and Clarke's method. Participants were recruited from November 2021 to June 2022.
resultsThe data analysis identified four themes: (1) "It's always very traumatic for them," (2) "It's quite a different experience compared to other women with breast cancer," (3) "They are often people who need quite a bit of support," and (4) "These women do have to make different treatment decisions."
conclusionThis exploratory study offers valuable insights from HCPs who have cared for women with GBC, shedding light on their unique journeys. The findings highlight the distinct challenges that set women with GBC apart from other breast cancer patients, emphasising specific psychosocial support needs. Moreover, the study reveals that the decision-making process for these women is powered by essential elements such as knowledge, support, and trust.
